Written by Bob Westfall sometime in 2011 after watching the movie Gunfight At The O.K. Corral. These days I play the song a lot faster. I don't know why we recorded it so slow. Live and learn. #shwing
BOOT HILL BLUES
I'm going to Tombstone, baby, Tombstone here I come
Tombstone, baby, Tombstone here I come
I've got a Colt 45 and an empty bottle of rum
Gonna be a gunfight, baby, at the O.K. Corral
Gunfight, baby, at the O.K. Corral
I ain't missing it for nothing, no way, no how
They say all gunfighters live in fear of the end
All gunfighters live in fear of the end
They die without a dime, a woman, or a friend
Boot Hill, baby, Boot Hill's the end of the line
Boot Hill, baby, Boot Hill's the end of the line
It's them or me, and I don't feel like dying
Tombstone, baby, Tombstone here I come
Tombstone, baby, here I come
I've got a Colt 45 and an empty bottle of rum
